Advanced, realistic graphics in a rich and populated environment 4. A selection of 8 different weapon types 5. A powerful, yet simple and intuitive two-thumb control system 6. Advanced 3D sound environment 7. Optional stereoscopic, red/blue color-filtered 3D mode Note: 3D glasses are of course not included, but if you happen to have a pair of those old cardboard goggles with a red/blue 3D filter, turn on the 3D mode and enjoy the REAL vertigo effect!
